ALEX ANDRIA-.
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 10.

THE GOVERNOR says "the fact that rich
people are permitted to pay their taxes
with coupons at half price, while poor peo'
pie are compelled to pay theirs in cash, is
grievance of which the latter have just
c,use Of complaint" And 30 it is. But the
legislature has it in its easy power to re-
move that cause of complaint, by compro'
mise with the States creditors, BY which all
the outstanding coupons and, the principal
of the debt may be funded in long bonds at a
low rate of interest, so that the coupons BE-
ing thus absorbed, al! taxpayers will De
compelled to pay their tax bills with cash
Such a settlement will be satisfactory to the
creditors and honorable to the State. But
the members of the Legislature cant see it"
They seem to have gone clean daft on the
debt question.

this We have better prnters-mors intelli-
gent, more conscientious, better workmen
In every way Then the unions have taken
In hand the matter Of organizing and en-
forcing discipline, which, formerly, was
undertaken. with very poor results, by EN-
plOyers. In a phrase, we may say that
union printers now mutually manage and
govern themselves and unite to protect their
own and their employers interests. But il
must not be inferred that we consider the
union free from defects. None of the labor
organizations are above criticism or i'm
wholesome fsatures-which are of benefit
to both ranks OF the army, so that wise en-
ployers. weil-meaniag workingmen and all
good citizens may do what they can to pro-
encourage and promote that which is good
and that only.
Another very good and useful feature in
labor organization is the socia! feature.
Members are taught and encouraged to
consider each other as brothers ami sisters,
and to care for and promote each others in
terests. A fraternal spirit is encouraged,
aud In the course of time. as educational
processes are enlarged and broadened, this
spirit must. inevitably. reach all the per
sonal factors in the great industrial prob
lem and bring capital and labor together,
in a most friendly embrace. and into per-
manently peaceful and cooperative rela-
tons.
We are not discussing, in this article, the
attitude or character of employing organi-
cations. There are also educating processes
in operation in these. Capital has yet much
to learn and much to achieve. 1t needs to
study closely the Golden Rule. in all its re-
quirements and possible applications. As
labor advances towards capital, with an out
stretched hand. capital should advance to
meet it, in its own interest and in the inter
est OF the public. II is doing just this. III
some respects and 10 some extent. Should
il retreat. in the wrong direction, from ad-
vancing labor. il would do SO at its own
peril. and to the great peril of our entire
social, commercial and political system.

eve of better times, aud will do we'll to

The members of the American Evangeli-
cal Alliance, in session at Washington.
called on President and Mrs. Cleveland, on
Friday. and the chairman, Mr.. William
f. Dodge made nice little speech to the
administrative" pair. In his reply, the
president said:
All must admit that the reception of the
teachings of Christianity results in the pur-
est patriotism, in the most scrupulOus fidei-
ity TO public trust and in the best type Of
citizenship. These who manage the affairs
of government are by this means reminded
that the law OF God demands that they
should be courageously true to the interests
Of the people, and that the Ruler of the
universe will require of them strict &C
count OF their stewardship. The people,
too. are thus taught that their happiness
and welfare will be best promoted by con-
scientious regard for the interests of a COM
mon brotherhood. and that the success OF a
government by the people depends upon the
morality, the justice and the honesty Of the
people.
This is a cOmmendable utterance-
best the president has yet made.
